Our mission speaker this year will be Fr. Kevin Birmingham. Fr. Kevin grew up not far from St. Bernadette. His home parish is Our Lady of the Ridge in Chicago Ridge. He was ordained in 1997 by Cardinal Francis George and has served as Associate Pastor at St. Benedict in Blue Island then at St. Francis of Assisi in Orland Park. He became pastor of St. Anne in Hazel Crest in 2005. After completing one term as pastor there, he is now pastor of Maternity BVM in Chicago’s Humboldt Park neighborhood. There he is able to use the Spanish he learned in the seminary.
His various parish experiences have given him a deep appreciation of the vastness of God’s love and how God is present in every situation and in every moment. Fr. Kevin has given several parish missions within the Archdiocese of Chicago and is very pleased to have been invited to give our parish mission here at St. Bernadette. The mission topic is: “Is Jesus The One? A Spiritual Awareness Of God’s Presence In and Among Us”.
Please join us at our parish mission that will take place on March 11, 12 and 13 beginning each night at 7:00pm.
